dvd2one = blurrr - sharp - blurr

[gopalkk]

I tried trial on 7GB 150min. 4:3 letterbox NTSC Interlaced 29.976fps
Indian Movie Film DVD.

All I got is blurr - sharp - blurr sequence with lot of big size macro blocks.

To test the same, I got DVD comparable output from CCE/TMPGenc as I applied IVTC.

I don't see DVD2One is solution for this or it is a bug which I hope they will release in v1.1.

I am waiting to test v1.1 and buy.

BTW, after DVD2One, the output does not play even in any of the Software DVD players and plays only after I recreate the IFO files using IFOEdit.

My wishes in next release:
1. IVTC/3:2 Pulldown (I donno if this is possible in transcoding)
2. 1:1 Copy (C;mon I waste more time in creating menu than running CCE)
3. Max size settings (it should not assume all 4.3GB is available)
4. Blurr-Sharp-Blurr w/ macroblocks issue fix

I will atleast wait until competing products are in market to decide my purchase.

I've found that a good rule of thumb is don't DVD2one a movie that's over 2 hours as it doesn't come out too good.
Your better going through the process of re-encoding with CCE.

As to why your DVD2one output doesn't play????
Everything I've tried has played 100% in PowerDVD.

whats the point then
i have found lots of movies under 2 hours that all you need to do is demux the video and one audio track with DVDDecrypter run it thru sumthing like spruce and your done.. with no lose whatsoever

I think the issue is only with this type of DVD and not the actual size as I am successful on 7+GB LOTR DVD.

This is something to do with Interlace (IVTCed) DVD.

AlanRob I disagree with your statement "don't DVD2one a movie that's over 2 hours" I have done a PAL version of Pearl Harbour (3hrs ??/) and was VERY happy with final result.
